I see it too... particularly the neurotic moms who take their kids


to the doctor for every. little. thing.

As I posted above in my response to Balz, we have friends who have probably been to the ER 20+ times in the last 11 years. Now that I truly do NOT understand as the unpleasantness of an ER visit should be self-correcting. But they're borderline hypochondriacs and so they go to the ER any time anyone in their family of 4 is experiencing flu like symptoms. It's become somewhat of a joke between my me and my wife. Our friends cancelled dinner plans with us last Saturday because the wife was...you guessed it, in the ER, with, wait for it... the flu. With most friends, if we learn someone is in the ER, it's an "Oh my gosh, is everything OK" reaction. With these friends we just roll our eyes. It's such a regular occurrence.

Send them a $1K ER bill and I bet they find religion real quickly on the proper use of the emergency room. In all honesty, I'm not sure how/why their insurance company doesn't push back on it.
